Beautiful Finely Executed Pencil Drawing "homage To Saint Peter" Late 18th Century Well Framed

Rare and beautiful fine Neo-classical drawing from the end of the 18th century presented in a pretty Louis XVI frame in pearly gilded wood, remarkable for its dexterity and finesse. It is with a confident stroke that this scene of characters who prostrate themselves before the great "Saint-Pierre" seated on his throne, an innumerable parade pays him homage and loyalty. This scene of Biblical characters is executed on a fine bistre paper with a very fine lead pencil. The presentation of the Work with its beautiful blue "Louis XVI" marie-louise, beveled gilded, wonderfully presents this Work of elongated format; a refined style and very much in the spirit of the Antique which announces great Painters like Gérôme1c... It is for me an advanced drawing of preparatory study for a painting whose mastery attests to the quality of this Artist who remains for me in anonymity. A beautiful sober and accomplished collector's item in good condition
